Men's Basketball vs Niagara CCC

The JCC Jayhawks (NJCAA Div II, 16-3) hosted the Thunderwolves of Niagara County Community College (NJCAA Div II, 12-8).  Things got off to a shaky start for the Thunderwolves as the team had two technical fouls in the first 30 seconds of play but things settled down and two evenly matched teams played a close first half with the Jayhawks taking a 9 point lead into the half (40-31).  The second half saw both teams run fast paced offenses with neither team seemingly being able to grab a defensive rebound when needed to slow down the scoring.  The Thunderwolves put up 63 second half points but the Jayhawks nearly matched them with 61 second half points of their own as the Jayhawks prevailed 101-94.  The Jayhawks were led by #22 Samuel Joseph 's (Brooklyn) 22 points, 6 steals, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds; #21 Kyle Taylor-Mcleggan 's (Harlem) 19 points; #12 Derek Ice 's (Bronx) 17 points; #24 Rakim Lesane 's (Coney Island) 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists; #34 Noah Whalen 's (Buffalo) 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals; and #40 Brian Roberts ' (Cleveland) 7 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 blocks.
